Grind Coffee: Plan and Set Up a Stamp Card

Plan a nine-coffee reward and prepare your Stamp card settings using Grind Coffee as an example. This guide covers the offer, card design and customer information. The new-card save and activation sequence is not yet verified. Stop at the final review until support confirms it for your card.

Before you start, sign in to your merchant account, agree which coffees qualify, and have your own artwork and business contact details ready. Need an account? Follow Start a trial or sign in. Use a separate new card; the illustrated sample is already active.

Start setup if you have already agreed the offer below. All instructions are written in text. Images are teaching overlays or sample captures; select View larger image, then Zoom in for fine print.

Decide your offer first

Use this starter rule sheet, or agree your changes before opening the editor.

Decision	Starter example
Earning	One paid, eligible regular coffee earns one stamp; two earn two.
Target and reward	Collect 9 stamps for one eligible regular coffee free. The reward coffee does not earn another stamp.
Eligibility	Decide sizes, upgrades and exclusions. Use the same rules in your headline, reward details and terms.
Bonuses	0 welcome stamps, 0 birthday stamps and referrals Inactive.
Validity	Unlimited card and stamp validity, if this fits your business policy.
Redemption	No for automatic redemption; staff redeem when the customer requests the reward. Test this before launch.

The saved sample differs: it has one welcome stamp, two birthday stamps, six-month stamp life and active referrals. One welcome stamp would leave eight earned stamps to reach nine, before other bonuses. Its headline says “any 9 Drinks”, but its earning rule specifies regular coffees. Use the consistent regular-coffee offer here rather than copying every sample value.

This supplied Wallet screenshot shows 7 stamps needed and 0 rewards, presented in an illustrative phone frame. The card and its QR code are preserved from the original image without stretching. It illustrates progress, not a verified transaction result. The QR shown belongs to this sample Wallet card; use your own installation link/QR for new customers.

1. Open a new Stamp card

1. Sign in to Loyaltymaster and open Cards.
2. Select From scratch, then Stamp.
3. Select Continue to reach Settings, as described in the full Stamp reference.

Product fact to confirm: this creation route and editable controls have not been exercised with a new trial account in this review. If your screen differs or a needed control is locked, ask support before proceeding. To inspect an existing card, use Edit → Settings; do not overwrite an active programme to follow this example.

2. Choose how customers earn stamps

In Settings → Reward Program, select Stamps. Staff apply the rule “one paid eligible coffee = one stamp” and issue the appropriate quantity after checking the purchase.

When would I choose the other options?

Option	When it fits
Stamps	Staff issue stamps according to your rules. Used here.
Spend	Earning depends on the customer's spend. Define the spend-to-stamp rule and required purchase inputs first.
Products	Earning depends on goods in the receipt. Confirm product/receipt setup before relying on it.
Visit	Earning depends on qualifying visits rather than coffees in one order. Define a qualifying visit.

These are earning methods, not different card types. An option does not establish an automatic connection to your POS (till system). Alternative methods and integrations need their own setup and test.

3. Name the reward and complete Settings

Set Reward name to One coffee free and Reward type to Custom for this example. The name describes the benefit; the type describes its form.

Existing sample values: the picture says “Any Drink Free”. Use the starter name above for the regular-coffee offer. Order ($ OFF) and Order (% OFF) are alternatives for fixed-amount or percentage discounts; they require their own amount, eligibility and checkout checks.

Essential settings

Complete these before leaving Settings:

• Card expiration date / Stamp life: choose Unlimited for both if that is your policy. For a fixed term, enter its Term value and unit and explain the expiry in your rules. These are separate settings.
• Number of stamps when issuing a card / Number of birthday stamps: set both to 0 for nine paid coffees. The sample has 1 and 2; its issuing-stamp field is locked. If either needed setting is locked on your new card, stop and ask support.
• Language / Locations: choose your customer language and participating shops. Review Date format, Thousands Separator and Decimal Separator for your audience. The sample uses DD.MM.YYYY, Comma and Dot; these are not compulsory defaults.
• Barcode type: the sample shows QR Code. Confirm compatibility with your staff scanner; this is separate from distributing an installation QR.

Customer details and privacy

The Card issuing form collects details from someone getting a loyalty card; it does not create a merchant account. Use Add field, choose Field type, enter Field name, and Remove unwanted fields. Required marks a compulsory field; Unique is intended to prevent duplicate values. Avoid making names unique without considering people who share a name. Collect only details your programme needs.

The supplied form shows name and phone fields, Get the card, and a +1 phone prefix. Your form follows your configured fields; Email is not established as a universal requirement. Review Phone mask for the appropriate region/format. The older claim about masking communication calls is unverified.

Review Privacy policy, its text, Consent to the processing of personal data, and Privacy policy (full text) against your approved customer-data policy. Do not copy the sample's policy. The screenshot does not establish submission, consent handling or the next installation screen.

Installation and counter choices

Control	What to decide or check
Google Wallet Installation button / PWA Installation button	Choose the install options you intend to offer, then test them on the relevant devices. PWA is a web-app installation option. Visible controls do not prove successful installation.
Card installation via shared link	Review before distributing a public signup link. The UI distinguishes shared and individual links; their behaviour still needs testing.
Limit the number of cards issued	The UI labels 0 as unlimited. Set a cap only if part of your programme; test it before advertising it.
Purchase amount when charging / Comment when accruing	Decide whether staff must enter a purchase amount or comment when crediting stamps. Include those requirements in the counter test.
Limit the number of stamp accruals per day	“Accrual” refers to crediting stamps. The UI labels 0 as unlimited, but its counting unit is unverified; do not assume a limit counts coffees, visits or individual stamps.

Optional for this starter offer: leave campaigns, Promotions, Analytics and Meta Ads for later unless you already have a reviewed setup. See Optional settings for the controls and bonus implications.

After completing Settings, use Continue to open Design in the documented creation flow. If it leads somewhere else, stop and check with support rather than guessing. The active sample permits direct section navigation; that does not verify a new-card transition.

4. Set the target to nine stamps

In Design → Stamps count, select 9. The free reward coffee is the next coffee, not a tenth paid stamp.

Stay in Design to finish the appearance before moving to Information.

5. Add recognisable coffee-shop branding

Choose distinct Active stamp and Inactive stamp styles for earned and unearned stamps. The sample uses Coffee choices. Use the relevant file... control for custom stamp artwork if needed.

Under Logo, select file... to upload your shop logo. The separate Icon and Background under stamps have their own upload controls.

Upload	Guidance displayed in the editor
Active/inactive stamp images	PNG, at least 200 × 200 px
Logo	PNG, recommended 480 × 150 px, minimum height 150 px
Icon	Square PNG, recommended 512 × 512 px
Background under stamps	PNG, minimum 1125 × 432 px

The displayed limit is 3 megabytes. The full reference describes Icon as the push-message image; it is separate from the stamp icons. These are visible upload instructions, not a test that every file will be accepted. The supplied phone/form screenshots are examples, not upload-ready logos or stamp artwork.

Finish these Design controls:

• Colors: review Card background, Text color, Stamp background, Outline color, Active stamp, Inactive stamp and Background under stamp. The sample shows #E20E17 for its card background and #ffffff for text. Use your own brand colours and check readability and earned/unearned distinction.
• Fields name: choose what each Field displays, then its Field name label. The sample maps Stamps until the reward → Stamps Needed and Available rewards → Available rewards. These card labels are separate from signup fields.
• Show logo at card issuing form / Show background color on card issuing form: review both switches for customer-form branding.

Check the preview, then continue to Information in the documented creation flow. Do not return to Settings unless you need to correct an earlier choice.

6. Explain the offer on the card

Enter consistent copy in Information:

Field	Starter wording
Card description	Buy nine eligible regular coffees and get one regular coffee free.
How to earn a stamp	Earn one stamp for each paid eligible regular coffee. Free reward coffees do not earn stamps.
Reward details	Redeem one reward for one eligible regular coffee. Add your exact sizes, upgrades and exclusions.
Company name	Your coffee shop's trading name.

Existing sample values — use the starter wording in the table above. The sample's “any 9 Drinks” headline and regular-coffee earning rule do not describe the same eligibility.

Review Earned stamp message and Earned reward message. Preserve the required {#} token in the earned-stamp message. Its runtime substitution is unverified; if the fields are locked, ask support before promising different text.

For the starter offer:

• Leave Multi rewards empty for one reward at the target, as described by the editor. Milestones such as 3, 6 and 9 change the offer.
• Set Redeem reward automatically? → No. The UI describes Yes as redeeming at the next visit after enough stamps are accumulated; that behaviour has not been tested here.
• Set Referral program → Inactive. Referral bonuses change how many paid coffees are needed. See the optional section before enabling them.

Finish the customer-facing details:

• Active links: select Type (URL, Phone, Email or Address), enter Link and a clear Text label. Use Add link or Remove as needed. Replace sample placeholders and generic social links with your own checked destinations.
• Terms of use: review the switch and enter approved rules matching your earning, reward, exclusions and expiry choices. Add Link to full terms and conditions if you have a policy page.
• Issuer information: enter your business Company Name, Email and Contact Number so customers can identify and contact the issuer.

Optional: Feedback links can hold review destinations; the sample's Add link is disabled, so seek support if yours is unavailable. Link for redirection after card installation is described by the editor as applying to Apple Wallet installs; check the destination and test it before relying on it.

7. Review before you save or activate

Check the nine-stamp target, zero bonuses, referrals off, matching reward copy and terms, agreed validity, readable artwork, customer fields, privacy and business links.

Stop before launch: product facts to confirm. Save and preview, Finish and Activate are visible in the active-card editor, and Activate Card appears in the older reference; their current sequence and effects were not exercised on a new card. The sample's Activate button is disabled. Ask support to confirm:

• Which action saves your new card, and how to confirm the settings persist after reopening it.
• Any activation requirements, the exact action and the state that confirms it is active.
• Where to obtain your own shared installation URL/QR and how to confirm it belongs to the intended card.

Do not treat these buttons as interchangeable or activate the sample. This guide establishes a preparation checklist, not a completed creation or launch test. The sample editor preview shows two available rewards while the supplied Wallet image shows zero; they are separate snapshots, not a before/after transaction.

8. Prepare the counter test

Use an owner-approved test card and participant. Resolve the following handoffs with support before any issuance or redemption:

Handoff	Product fact to confirm
Customer installation	What Get the card opens and the exact Apple Wallet/Google Wallet continuation for your configured form. The linked iPhone and Android guides show different field/button examples; do not assume every field or button will match.
Staff scanner access	The verified scanner URL/navigation path and the authorised staff credentials. The scanner introduction refers to a “provided URL” without supplying it in its text.
Redemption	The current redemption control, whether its quantity represents rewards, stamps or points, and the resulting balance. The Stamp transaction reference mixes “stamps” and “Redeem Points”; do not use that wording as a verified instruction to redeem.

Once those facts are confirmed, test this sequence without using a real customer's balance:

1. Open your own installation link on the test phone. Complete the configured fields and confirm the correct card is installed.
2. Sign in to the confirmed scanner, identify the test card and issue the agreed quantity. Check that one eligible paid coffee earns one stamp and two earn two.
3. Check that reaching nine earns the intended reward. Redeem one reward using the confirmed controls, then check the recorded change and next-purchase behaviour.
4. Confirm any purchase/comment requirements, privacy/form handling and optional redirect. Test deliberate bonus or expiry rules separately if you chose them.
5. Ask staff to explain eligible coffees, exclusions, expiry and what to do when a customer cannot find the card.

Ready to share only after: settings survive reopening, activation is confirmed, your installation link works on the intended devices, and issuance/redemption produce the agreed results. This is an acceptance checklist; none of those live actions was performed in this review.

Optional settings for later

• UTM campaign links: UTM means campaign tracking on a link. The reference describes Source Name and Add a link with a UTM tag. The current UI offers welcome-count and expiry overrides that take precedence over template settings; check them before sharing a campaign link.
• Promotions, Analytics and Meta Ads: separate setup tasks. Leave unused unless you have defined how they fit the offer and have a reviewed tracking setup. Their execution/attribution is unverified.
• Referrals: if enabled later, decide Get bonus at the moment when, Stamps count for referrer and Stamps count for new customer. Explain the changed bonus arithmetic and test it before advertising.
• Multi rewards: entering comma-separated milestones creates a different reward plan. Use the complete Stamp reference for additional controls, while respecting its stated verification limits.

More detail and evidence

Settings, Design and Information for sample card 276698 were inspected read-only on 22 October 2026. Reward-type alternatives were read on 20 October; Custom was rechecked on 22 October. Customer images were supplied by the owner; their original capture time is unknown. Teaching images retain real sample values, with enlarged panels and numbered highlights; they are not pixel-identical application captures.

Unverified: new-trial permissions, creation transitions, save/reopen, activation, form submission, installation, scanner transactions, expiry and runtime tokens. No live card was changed. The full Stamp reference provides more detail; return to Real-world Examples for other worked guides.
